The ASC library and Prof. Jan Abbink have together compiled this web dossier to coincide with the DRPN-ASC conference entitled "Challenges and Prospects of Democratization in a Zone of Conflict: Rethinking the Role of Non-state Actors and International Development Partners in the Horn of Africa" which was held in Leiden on Wednesday 14 December 2005.
This dossier begins with background information about the Horn of Africa Day and then provides a list of titles on democratization, donor policy and conflict management in the region. These titles, of books and articles published within the last ten years, are based mainly on the ASC library's collection. Each title links directly to the corresponding record in the online catalogue, which provides details about the title as well as abstracts of articles and edited works. The dossier concludes with a selection of web resources.

Background
The Horn of Africa is a politically unstable region that has experienced remarkable political experiments and notable donor-country attention, especially in the sphere of democratization, governance, economic reforms, and reforms of the legal system. The Horn – comprising Ethiopia, Eritrea, Djibouti, Somalia and Sudan – has a wide diversity of peoples, climatic zones, economic infrastructures and political traditions. Variously shaped by colonial experiences and strong indigenous traditions of politics – e.g., imperial rule, sultanates, acephalous societies, local, clan-based chieftaincies – it has been volatile and conflict-prone, especially over the past century.
In 1991 radical regime changes occurred in Somalia, Ethiopia and Eritrea. Civil wars ended and transitional regimes were installed. In Djibouti and Somaliland elections were held. Sudan has been the least marked by processes of political liberalization since the early 1990s. This tide of change initially brought hope and renewed commitment from donor countries, NGOs and scholars that the Horn countries would be able to achieve, or at least choose, the path towards meaningful democratic reform, and in its wake, ‘good governance’, in the sense of accountable, transparent and participatory administration or public management. It was expected that, most importantly, the new governments would be able to address the legacy of conflict and restart development efforts in this region, which remains one of the most impoverished and underdeveloped, even in a comparative African perspective.
Numerous local NGOs have emerged and started operations, usually with donor assistance. International NGOs and organizations (like the World Bank, the IMF and the Africa Development Bank) have initiated major investments and programmes to enhance the processes of political and economic liberalization. European donor countries have offered help with the training of national police forces, the reform of judicial structures, voter education and practical support in the organization of elections. Programmes to improve the area’s human-rights record, the individual countries’ educational systems and the involvement and training of women have also been initiated.
Today, in late 2005, it may be time to take stock of the results of democratization processes and efforts to date, and of the institutional and financial support provided by the donor community. This is happening against the backdrop of growing public discontent and the recent flare-up of violent conflicts in the Horn. The Ethiopian–Eritrean war of 1998-2000 and the resulting border stalemate, the ongoing Darfur tragedy, the insecurities around the Sudanese peace agreement for the South, the tensions in Ethiopia and the continued chaos in Somalia have deeply affected processes of democratization across the region. In addition, the increased domestic suppression of civil society and democratic tendencies, notably in Eritrea since 2000 and in Ethiopia after the contested May 2005 elections, has contributed to bringing the democratization process to an apparent standstill.
Donor policies may have proven to be limited in their impact, and often also very misguided, betting on the wrong horses out of Realpolitik, opportunism and lack of in-depth analysis. It is relevant at this stage now to ask what has been achieved, and at what levels. Questions can be asked about democratization as a historical project and in how far it is shared in the developing countries, about its conditions and its relationship with economics and culture, about the links between democratization, stability and security, and about the role of globalizing factors from outside the region. In a more specific sense, the role and impact of international (not only Western) NGOs is an important subject for debate, as well as the relationship between democratic rights and gender, and the lack of attention to the relatively large but marginalized population of pastoralists in the Horn of Africa.
The literature on the above-mentioned subjects is voluminous, but often ignored or little used. It is hoped that professionals associated with the Horn in donor country policy, journalism, NGO activities and academic research will find interesting and helpful contributions here.
